No way! I know stuff like this can leave a bitter taste regarding the brand especially when it was the first jump. But these things do happen. I don't believe they are junk as I have around 16 Arrma's, This is the first time I have had this issue. Yes I have broken many parts when jumping. Mainly down to bad landings. Traxxas is a little more forgiving on bad landings as they flex a lot more. I love my outcast 8s EXB and 4s. I don't support any brands and just buy what I enjoy. The Arrma parts prices are a little steep too in my opinion which doesn't help the experience. I had this issue with my corally Asuga. first light jump and it broke the upper front arm, and that landed on all fours. Warranty was not excepted. But that parts were cheap enough to buy.

@thercstore. I had a outcast v2 4s and I went thru 4 chassis before I sold it. Kept ripping the hinge pins out of the chassis. Last outing it nose dived and broke the pins out of the rear bulkhead!! That was it I was done,traded it for a broken xmaxx

A camera on a bracket that I adapt on to my controllers.

Service I've had on warranties with Horizon has been spot on, Not yet had to claim for a Traxxas under warranty. Your right mass produced your always going to get one.

@@thercstore. I’ve only had one with Traxxas, and it was a $30 set of tires in which the hexes didn’t fit right. They wanted me to pay to send it back for inspection even with proof of purchase. Mean while horizon hobbies replaced my ESC which was $150 no questions asked. So they are looking better in that respect. But I like both companies! Just wish Traxxas would be better with service.

@@SVCprints That's such a shame. Sometimes it may not be the company just the person dealing with the matter being harsh. I've always been asked to take photos and videos of the issue before getting the go ahead, but here in the UK we send warranties to the UK distributor who then claims back from Horizon.

@gewglesux USB A? The USB C is the charger for the lipo battery. It needs to be plugged into a USB plug or socket one end and the battery to be connected to the other end of the box in order to charge. I've not come across a USB A. 🤔

@@thercstore. Thanks for the reply. in addition to the charging cable in the bag of parts there was a small little USB that looks like when you get a wireless mouse. That's part of the charging system? I don't normally use those batteries

@gewglesux the small little USB, is an adapter for the charger, allowing it to c Go from USB C to USB. If you don't have a USB C plug socket and only a USB. This is for charging the stock battery.

@@thercstore. Thanks again... I don't use the stock Battery or charger.. so i'm good... thank you.

It sure seems this way! nevertheless It give me a chance to give it a once over when I tear it down. All part of the fun I guess!😁

@NYangryguy I'm going to tear it down. Inspect all the diff and change fluid. I was unlucky with this, but these things happen

Thank you for the tip! yes its totally stock I've not geared it up! I think its only 2nd or 3rd time I have ran it 🤣🤣🤣 I will gear it up and chase them smiles 😄 I found the truck was a little too big for the track in respect of, there was not enough flats for the truck to really gain speed so its could get some real air time. Maybe gearing it up will help solve that and get it up too speed!

@ yah gear up. I take mine to the track and it runs wicked. Much more fun. Let us know how it goes.

@Soney_Manic I will do bro thank you for the heads up!

It's 100% my personal best for sure. It maybe a world record too 😂😂🤣

@@LeeHenson-d8q That makes perfect sense 👌🏽 thank you for explaining that in detail it's really appreciated. I will do recalibration with the transmitter. Really appreciate the support!

@@armandopace6113 Thank you! Really appreciate the support!

@philpowell1162 I'm getting a noise from the drive train, which i need to look into. Either the mesh or dry diffs.

@@rccarsandmusic2641 I will do that for sure! Thank you.

@philpowell1162 it sounds like a common issue looking at the comments. I've got a lot of RC'S and this is the first one like this out of the box. Was probably made on a Friday afternoon on the production line 🤣🤣🤣

@thercstore. Yeah lol. Arrma replaced my ESC. I live in Australia 🇦🇺 It took 4 weeks. To get my car back with the New ESC. While I was waiting i was using my Asuga.

@philpowell1162 I managed to get them to send me a new esc within 24 hours. They sent it under warranty. Asuga is a great car. I have one, too!

@thercstore. I know you hav a Asuga it's blue. I watched your videos on it. You put a large pinion in it and you did a speed run on the road. It was a good video 👌

@philpowell1162 🤣🤣😂 Thank you for the continued support it's really appreciated! Asuga is quick for something out of the box with a larger pinnion on it!

@porscheguy19 As much as I would love to fulfil your request due to a real bad experience with Rlaarlo, i refuse to purchase another. Customer service and respect go a long way. When you have been lied to repeatedly, you lose trust, hope, and then faith . Check out our Rlaarlo Mk07 unboxing video. It's all explained there.

@porscheguy19 100% sounds abnormal! It may be the gear mesh, but regardless, I'll tear it down and re do all the fluids and grease.

@mikee2398 it's a bit disappointing on your brand new rig. The esc was swapped out under warranty, which they did very quickly!

@K2H117 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂 you ain't wrong there. It may be the mesh, but I'm going to have to tear it all down and inspect it properly. It's a shame as this was it's first run.

Its's probably the limited slip bs in the center diff making it sound like that. Mine was the same way out of the box loud and obnoxious. My bro got same car month later and his was way more quiet out of the box. Rebuild my center diff make it an open diff problem solved.

@NYangryguy that's right I forgot about the LSD. Good point.

@NYangryguy that's great. Thank you for the heads up. I will be doing the diffs and centre diffs on this

It's a shame, Its the first one I have had that's done this and I have brought many Rc's as your aware. It's not put me off as these things happen unfortunately.

I agree from my experience I cant fault it.

I agree! I ran it out the box as I do with all my cars box fresh. I will set the mesh and see if that fixes it.

Did they replace it?

@thercstore. Yes, they did 😉

This is very interesting 🤔 I think you may be right here. To be honest, I should have recalibrated it! School boy error. I'll give this ago and see how I get on. Thank you for the tip! Much appreciated!

It's a shame for any newbie that brought this car. It would have left them with a bitter taste. Lucky it happened to me, and I understand things happen. But yes, 15% is crazy high!

@thercstore. I get what you say. I just think it's totally crap for the hobby. I personally know multiple people buying rc's because off me, thinking it was a cool Toy. And both stopped/lost interest because off stuff that broke down. As example, a truggy off from a friend from a well know brand which literally broke down every run. After about 10 runs, replacing stuff, some warranty and updated parts all weaknesses were solved (by me)... But that's not how it should be when you buy a 500$ Rc!

The big send will be coming! I'm just waiting for some other K6s to come join me for the sends 🤔

@thercstore. if I no of anyone ill send them ur way 🤣🤣🤣 Jan bro I'll b out

No way? Did you have the exact same issue?

@ not quite, mine broke an a-arm on a baby jump

@LifeOfBallen Really? Did it land on all fours or on one wheel? Concrete landing, I'm guessing! Strange 🤔 For a small jump! My kraton exb v1 I've sent, and it's been solid. I do know of people who have broken arms loads of arms but on the v1 exb. But they have sent them hard. I totally get that if you send them hard, things will break, but not on a light jump, as you stated. If you recorded it, it may be worth sending the footage to warranty and see if it's covered (if it was a light jump and correct landing)

@ I’ve always been a arrma hater, this is my first arrma and it did exactly as I expected 🤣.

@@LifeOfBallen 😂😂😂 Being totally honest, Mine have all been good cars. However send for send I've broke more Arrmas than Traxxas when sending them off ramps, jumps etc... Mainly due to bad landings, The plastic Traxxas is more forgiving. I don't support any brands I just buy what I like and enjoy them for what they are. Other than user error my Arrmas have been decent rigs. Until this one, Which I'm sure was just bad luck.

@@cs-mudmowersfromhell9266 ouch! What would you have brought 🤔

@@rhpatel1749 Thank you, much appreciated!

Who do you think makes the esc for Spektrum 😅😅

I have no idea! If you say hobbywing, they must keep the better components for them self's 😂😂😂🤣🤣 It's the first time I've had an issue like this. I'm guessing it's was just an unlucky one. 😕

@@thercstore. plug in a hobbywing program card it works unfortunately it happens I had one esc in a Vendetta die second run out they sent a new one no problem other than that I haver never had a Spektrum esc go out recently a Hobbywing in my Hobao bit the dust so much for that it actually has a Spektrum now lol its all the same just programming to manufacturers specs

@nickabercrombie4001 Don't get me wrong, the H8H is a fantastic truck. But it needs some brass for low down weight and tyres. As the stock ones aren't too good for crawling over rocks like this. Trail runs they are fine.

@markusmaximus8699 It does ruin the experience when something like this happens. However, we need to remember its electronics, and things do go wrong. No one to blame. It's about how the issues dealt with and resolved. In this case, it was a new esc sent out within 24 hours. I wouldn't let this put you off totally getting one. I've brought loads of rc's, and this is the first one this has happened, too.

@ I’m an electrician myself so totally understand how things like this can happen however with my own personal experiences with spectrum electronics have been so poor it’s hard to not be put off by them now. I would much rather buy a kraton roller and install my own hobbywing electronics. Great service from appliance electronics though which is good. Time will tell how long the new ESC lasts

@markusmaximus8699 I have had a few friends that have had issues with ECSs bursting into flames, but they were pushing them to the limits. Personally, if it was a roller, I would have gone hobbywing as my v1 kraton has a hobbywing max6 set up.

Hobbywing makes Spektrum 🤣🤣

@ well you learn something new everyday! Apparently hobbywing do spectrum esc’s. I can only comment on my own personal experiences but the hobbywing max 10 combo that I fitted to my big rock to replace the faulty spectrum unit is far superior, not only does it feel and look way better quality it also performs so much better in every way. And so far it hasn’t failed me unlike the spectrum system. So I would say that maybe spectrum are made by hobbywing but they are certainly made with cheaper parts and not as reliable.

@gamedogrc There's always one! Unfortunately, it was me this time 😂😂😂 Love the kraton nevertheless

🤣🤣🤣 First time I've had an issue out the box. After buying many RCs. Things like this happen. It's electronics. I don't personally blame anyone. It's how they resolve it in my eyes.

@LTRenji That doesn't sound right? As the shop doesn't lose any money when items are faulty with such brands providing its under warranty. All the retailers do is contact the UK distributor and fill out a form. The parts are then exchanged if the claim is successful. The decision is made by the distributor regarding the acceptance of a claim, not the retailer. I'm not defending the retailer just explaining the processes. However, I've always had an outstanding experience here. Hence, I tell all the viewers.

@@thercstore. so you no it my local hobby shop next to wheelspin but i am not the only one that has issues with them i no a fair few that has had similar issues with them ... but i am glad they sorted the issue out for you ...

@kiel104ify 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣 you love them, really! Your favourite combo would be spektrum electronics in a traxxas 🤔

@Nutz_forRCs throttle trim is completely fine. The mesh i believe needs resetting as it can be heard. I never set this as i wanted to run it fresh out of the box to show viewers a true video. So this was totally stock, no adjustments.

@spenn2007 Fair! This is the first faulty one I've had. No ones fault these things happen. But it was a completely different car when I put the new esc in. Warranty is normally good with horizon products, and they do try to get the issues resolved quite quickly here in the UK.

After the awe of all the bling wore off, I was going to get rid of it. Then, I changed the pinion gear with punch 6, did my OWN Q&A, and now it's one of my favorites. I broke the wing off and a shock rod end, no drive cup or dogbone issues, etc. and I feel 1000% confident while sending it. Try it, you will be surprised how well it jumps and back flips LOL.

@@spenn2007 My outcast is my favourite stunt truck! I have the 8s exb and the 4s 2.5. This was the first run for the new Kraton 6s exb v2, I will be messing around with the gearing to find that sweet spot.

Ripper now with new ESC 😊

You're welcome, bro! These things happen, i guess. Thank you for the continued support !

Yeah, it moves now! Need to put the high-speed pinion on it!

That's strange 🤔 I don't think we should have to constantly keep updating firmware if they are running spot on. But then again, new radio waves etc..... who knows 🤷🏽‍♂️

@@speckledjim_ whatever it was it's made them some good sales. 😂😂😂 It's the most popular colour to be sold. My daughter absolutely loves it.

@thercstore. I guess it appeals to a particular sector of the RC community....:)

@@BlackIce-n9u it's a 1/10th

@@spenn2007 Easier option would be to buy the EaxB flash the firmware on the esc, turn up some settings etc... and maybe change the gearing.

@@spenn2007 nice truck to be fair, over the new kraton v6 for a little more you do get some decent upgrades. Your right about the firmware!

@@Pc-xp7mh That's abit harsh? 😂
